Italeri 6510 - 1/35 M985 HEMTT Gun Truck: Builder Summary

The M985 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is a notable eight-wheel drive vehicle praised for its off-road capability. Introduced in the mid-1980s, it has been a key component of United States Army logistics. The Italeri 6510 kit recreates the HEMTT form and practical detailing in 1/35 scale.

Design Purpose and Use

The HEMTT series was engineered to transport ammunition and heavy loads across rough terrain, combining payload and mobility. The model reflects these priorities with structural accuracy and realistic external fittings.

Build Experience and Finishing Advice

This kit supplies crisp parts that benefit from clean-up and careful gluing. Paint is not included, so select appropriate military shades and consider weathering techniques to emphasise operational wear. The M985 HEMTT Gun Truck presents well in both standalone displays and larger diorama scenes.
